Location: Galvao farm
Time: early afternoon
Weather: sunny and warm with a slight breeze.




Eli gave a soft sigh as he paced the length of his front porch. With his parents away the man had taken the opportunity to call up Lee Katan. He'd met the girl, another Essentic owner at Banning's ball and both she and Lauss had shown some interest in Kell. Despite the awkward age gap between them he'd invited the pair over to see Sorcha's newest litter of pups, figuring Lee might like one, Lauss might find them interesting and having another proto over might keep get Uzi to take it's head out of the tracking manual he'd given it for a few minutes.

Uzi at the moment did indeed have it's muzzle down in the book, both sides of which were held down with it's paws. There was so much to learn, so many animals to identify, learn the tracks and behavioral patterns of. To be a proper and efficient hunter Uzi had deemed reading necessary for now.

Kell was sound asleep napping under the porch.

The hound stirred at the approach of the car and growled lightly at the sight of Lauss, Kell did not have fond Memories of the Essentic. However he was not disturbed enough to move from the cool shade and shelter being under the porch provided. The dog would tolerate the stranger's presence as long as it behaved.

Eli was amused to see Lee arriving by car, so few could afford them or did indeed use them these days. The old farmhouse wasn't likely much in comparison to the place where the girl lived but it was home and he was proud of it. Besides they were here to talk dogs and Essentics, not compare living standards, or so he hoped.

The auburn haired man waves back with a tanned calloused hand not entirely surprised by the shock in Lee's voice upon spotting Uzi. He nodded and smiled " Lee, Lauss this is Uzi, it's combat type." Eli sincerely hoped Uzi wouldn't feel that meant it'd need to fight with the other proto.

Uzi was torn between continuing to read and paying attention to the other Essentic that was in it's general vicinity. With a soft rumbling noise it raised it's partially masked feline like head and fixed unblinking, slightly glowing yellow eyes on the pair of strangers. " I am Uzi" it confirmed.

Uzi paid little attention to Lee and Lauss, already lowering it's head back towards the manual when the other essentic inquired what it was doing." It's a hunting and tracking manual, I am memorizing all data on the animals currently available for hunting in this area." So many little nuances, so many slight body and paw shape differences to record and keep straight. Not an insurmountable task for an essentic and one Uzi was content to take on, It would be the ultimate hunting partner. " Your purpose?"


The redhead pointed off towards a small long building just a little in the distance. " Kennels and runs are over there, and yes Uzi's meant to be a hunter." Had technically already been one.. sort of but somehow Eli didn't think that was a story he should retell right now. He stepped off the porch and headed for the kennels " Don't worry about those two" he motion towards the essentics , they'll probably read the whole time" at least he hoped so.

Uzi considered this before giving a low rumble of consent, yellow pupil less eyes flashing briefly for a second. " You may quiz me" Eli had done so earlier with the mountain lion material and the concept was not foreign to the armored essentic although it highly doubted it would fail at a question. It's lion like tail flicked back and forth behind it like a contented cat's Uzi was highly assured of success.


" Mm about the size of a small house cat or so," Eli answered as they walked towards the kennels " They've already perfected the I'm cute please love me eyes" he warned. Black and tans had a distinctive sad almost forlorn look to their brown eyes that made it look like they were always begging for something.

Eli lead lee into the kennel and large cage where Sorcha and the puppies were, the large female clearly attempting to sleep while eight puppies milled about demanding attention.

Uzi stared intently at the picture, mind whirring as it searched it's memory. " Rabbit" the masked essentic answered. " A hind foot" Had it been capable of it Uzi might have frowned, too many seconds to determine front or hind foot, more study was needed. It was a hunter and would learn this tracking business perfectly as was required. Some skills it had already shown and Eli complimented it's form as good for hunting. Still Uzi was driven to perform better.


The green eyed man pointed to one pup wearing a small blue collar. " That one." He didn't know Lee overly well but what he'd gathered from her and Lauss' personalities had helped him choose from the puppies which he knew rather well. He might spent a lot of time out hunting but Eli still kept up with the dogs his parent's bred and made time to socialize with them, especially with Kell having been getting on in his years.

" He's a male with rather low prey drive and is quieter than the others." It didn't mean the dog wouldn't follow his nose everywhere or bark on occasion but of the puppies in this litter he had the most mellow temperament and was best suited as pet material.

Uzi found the other essentic to be highly useful to have around and wondered if he could be persuaded to visit often. The hunter visibly relaxed eventually taking on an almost truly catlike appearance in the way it lounged on the pro tail flick lazily back and forth. If this was company it wasn't half bad.

Eli nodded " Go ahead, Sorcha's used to people touching the pups and so are they." He didn't mention that while the puppies were too small to drool yet chances were Lee was going to get licked to death, it was usually a given when one handed puppies to begin with.

Sorcha raised her head at the mention of her name but showed no particular interest in moving at this point in time.

Uzi nodded slowly " You're not built for it.. but you have hands which helps." Uzi had some inborn knowledge of the hunt, and some things it remember from connection with Eli but most of what Uzi knew pertained to how to use it's proto form. However the yellow maned essentic looked nothing like Lauss, still the other did have hands which were an advantage. " You would have to learn weapons."


The auburn haired man just laughed at Lee and the puppy, truly they were connecting well and it hadn't taken Lee long to figure out hold to better hold the young thing. " Name him whatever you want, there's no traditions here and no right or wrong names" He said answering the question the blue eyed girl had never really finished.

Uzi nodded, mane swaying as the essentic did so " Yes a gun would be good for you." Although some of the Guns Uzi had seem were bigger than Lauss himself." you would learn fast and we would make an interesting team." Though the proto was aware of what it was the fully history of it;s kind was not available to it. Had essentics worked in concert before in such capacity?


" Rosco is fine and it shouldn't take too long for him to respond to it."Eli replied with a smile. " Any other questions?" As he spoke the auburn haired man crouched down so he could pet some of the puppies thinking that if it hadn't been for Uzi he might have taken one himself becuase Kell only had maybe a years worth of hunts left in him.
